[Linux-cluster] Kernel panic

Two of the three nodes in my CS/GFS cluster just crashed, which dissolved 
quorum and allowed me to finally capture part of the kernel panic.  Here is 
what was displayed on the screen:

[<ffffffff885daea8>] :gfs:gfs_write+0x0/0x8

Code:  Bad RIP value.
RIP  [<0000000000000000>] _stext+0x7fff000/0x1000
  RSP <ffff81006ac9f6e8>
CR2: 0000000000000000
  <0>Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception


Is this enough to figure out what happened, and how can I prevent this from 
happening in the future? I suspect that all the instability I have had with 
my CS/GFS cluster is related to this sort of crash.  I am using the
following on all three nodes:

cman-2.0.73-1.el5_1.1
openais-0.80.3-7.el5
rgmanager-2.0.31-1.el5.centos
lvm2-cluster-2.02.26-1.el5
luci-0.10.0-6.el5.centos.1
ricci-0.10.0-6.el5.centos.1
kernel-2.6.18-53.1.4.el5
gfs-utils-0.1.12-1.el5
kmod-gfs-0.1.19-7.el5_1.1

Thanks,

James
